Résumé

Gene editing stands at the frontier of scientific innovation, promising to reshape medicine, agriculture, and even our conception of humanity itself. "The Ethics of Gene Editing: A Simple Guide to Big Ideas" provides a clear and accessible introduction to the science behind gene editing, including foundational concepts in genetics and the landmark techniques driving the field, such as CRISPR. The book demystifies both the history and the modern practice of gene editing, breaking down complex technical processes for readers of all backgrounds.
Yet, scientific advancement inevitably brings profound ethical questions. This guide thoughtfully explores the moral frameworks that govern scientific responsibility, highlighting key ethical theories, the balancing act between innovation and caution, and the critical importance of public trust. Through compelling real-world examples and timely case studies, the book guides readers through the challenging dilemmas faced in medicine-particularly in the context of genetic therapies, human embryo editing, and potential impacts on future generations.
Expanding the conversation beyond human healthcare, the book also examines the use of gene editing in agriculture, environmental management, and animal welfare. It delves into the global diversity of regulatory approaches and cultural values, addressing pressing debates about equity, consent, social justice, and the potential for inequality. By fostering public awareness and dialogue, "The Ethics of Gene Editing" empowers readers to engage with the ongoing societal conversation, encouraging both personal reflection and collective responsibility as we navigate an era of unprecedented biological possibility.
